LTD Customs makes the branded merch for The Muskoka Sauna Co, a sauna company with a showroom in Torrance, Ontario that builds Canadian white cedar barrel saunas and sells premium outdoor saunas and cold plunge tubs. Since November 2024 we've made their white luxury towels with an embroidered logo, wool felt sauna hats with two embroidered logos, black outdoor rubber sauna mats with the logo, embroidered hats, and pens and water bottles for a boat show.

Most merch lives in a closet. Theirs lives in a 90°C room, on a wet dock and in a hot wash. That changes every decision.

The brief

A sauna company sells heat, cedar and cold water. The merch has to belong in that world: things you use in and around a sauna, not things you get handed at a trade show and forget in a drawer.

Their logo is a square outline frame with THE MUSKOKA SAUNA CO. set in light geometric capitals inside it. The frame is the logo. Drop it and the words read like any sauna company, so the rule on every product was the same: the frame stays, at the same proportions, in thread, felt or rubber.

Built for the sauna

Ten premium snapbacks

Hats came first: embroidered hats in November 2024, cream and green "Sauna Society" hats with a front logo and side embroidery for a boat show in November 2025, and dad hats in 2026. For the next hat we built ten colourways of our premium 5-panel snapback from their palette of black, sand, forest green and ember orange (hex FF6400), every one with the framed logo embroidered on the front.

The pick: 03, forest green crown, sand brim, sand thread. It's the colour of the shoreline behind every one of their saunas. Sand thread on green keeps the thin frame crisp, where a dark thread would sink into the twill. And it sits right next to the cream and green Sauna Society hats they already wear, so the new hat looks like part of the family, not a rebrand.

The next drop: a tee and a jacket

For the team and the showroom, the same framed logo goes small on the left chest of a vintage-wash tee and a black zip jacket. Small, because on a sauna brand the product is the hero; the logo just signs it.

About The Muskoka Sauna Co

The merch only works because the product behind it is the real thing. The Muskoka Sauna Co sells from a showroom in Muskoka cottage country and ships across Canada and the US. What they sell:

The Impulso connection

The Muskoka Sauna Co's growth marketing is run by Impulso Media, a Toronto Klaviyo email agency and paid ads specialist that reports growing their revenue by more than 500% through paid ads and email in its own case study. We make Impulso's merch too: read how we built Impulso Media's agency kit.

Built the same way as The KEE to Bala's summer collection, another Muskoka brand that wanted merch people wear first. More hat builds on custom hats in Canada, and every client story on our work page.

Questions

Who is The Muskoka Sauna Co?

The Muskoka Sauna Co is a sauna company in Torrance, Ontario, in Muskoka, that builds Canadian white cedar barrel saunas and sells outdoor, indoor and infrared saunas, cold plunge tubs and sauna heaters. LTD Customs makes its branded merch.

Can you embroider a logo on bath towels?

Yes. The Muskoka Sauna Co's white luxury towels carry their square logo embroidered in black thread near the corner. Thread holds up to hot washes better than a print, which matters on a towel that gets washed every time it is used.

Do you make custom sauna hats with a logo?

Yes. We make traditional wool felt sauna hats with embroidered logos; The Muskoka Sauna Co's carry two. They are fully custom, so plan on 4 to 6 weeks by air from mockup approval.

Can you put a logo on an outdoor rubber mat?

Yes. The Muskoka Sauna Co has black outdoor rubber mats with their sauna logo for sauna doors and decks. Custom rubber goods are made to order, so the timeline is confirmed with the quote.

Can you match the hats to our brand colours?

Yes. We set crown, brim, button, thread and rope colour separately. For The Muskoka Sauna Co we built ten premium 5-panel snapbacks in their black, sand, forest green and ember orange.

What is LTD Customs' minimum order?

Our minimum is 50 pieces. Stock hats and apparel take 2 to 3 weeks from mockup approval, and we ship anywhere in Canada.
